Abstract

The present invention relates to a front unit (10) for a touring binding, which front unit is to be mounted on a sliding board and has a mounting surface pointing in the direction of a sliding board surface, which mounting surface defines a sliding board plane (E), the front unit (10) being adjustable between a downhill configuration and a climbing configuration, comprising a first holding device (20) which is designed to fix a front portion of a sliding board boot for downhill travel with the touring binding, in the downhill configuration of the front unit (10), the first holding device (20) being adjustable between an active position and a passive position, and the first holding device (20) being set into the active position in the downhill configuration of the front unit (10), and being set into the passive position in the climbing configuration of the front unit (10), and a second holding device (40), which is designed to secure a toe portion of the sliding board boot for ascent with the touring binding in the climbing configuration of the front unit (10), in such a way that the sliding board boot is pivotable about a hinge pin that is substantially in parallel with the sliding board plane (E) and substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis (L) of the sliding board, the first holding device (20) being arranged closer to the sliding board plane (E) in the passive position than in the active position. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a touring binding comprising the front unit (10), which touring binding further comprises a heel unit and optionally a brake assembly.
